spermatozoa are filiform in My sis, but in the Hemitropha they

 the female in spermatophores. In the Holotropha the vasa

but the two anterior pairs of abdominal feet are here modified 

 as copulatory organs. In the Mysidae the males are distinguished

 the presence on the latter of the peculiar branchial (?) appendages 

 noted above. In all, the males are distinguished by the structure
